Are you ready for a fun-filled weekend of OC family Halloween events? This Sunday, October 30th, 2011 from 8am – 11am you will have a chance to bring your kids to the MOST FUN Halloween party ever and give back at the same time at the 20th annualPumpkins & Pancakes Halloween Extravaganza at South Coast Plaza.

I have gone to this event several times and it is one of my favorite seasonal family events in OC. At it, you will find the Macy’s and Crate and Barrel wing of South Coast Plaza completely transformed into a multi-level rocking Halloween party!

I had a friend ask me the other day for places to donate gently used maternity and baby clothes in Orange County so I posted on my Tiny Oranges Facebook page to see if anyone had a suggestion.

Within one evening, I got 14 responses of great local OC charities. I love Facebook! I wanted to do a post listing these organizations in case you have items you no longer need and want to donate to local families who can use your help. Your donations make a difference.

Of course, I know there are MANY more, so please comment below if you want to add to this list! And, please do “like” my Facebook page as my readers have the best info to share!

Here they are (please make sure to call before dropping off to confirm hours and address):
